- To develop imagination, initiative and creativity to enable graduates to follow a successful engineering career with national and international companies and organisations.
- To provide a pathway that will prepare graduates for successful careers including, where appropriate, progression to Chartered Engineer status.
- To set up a strong foundation for those who expect to continue onto a PhD or industrial research and development.?
Your application for the scholarship will be automatic; eligibility will be checked from the details in your online application for the MSc course.?Your personal statement should explain your experience to date, ambitions for the future, and commitment to engineering.?

Our bid proposed to address the gender imbalance of our engineering post graduate taught degrees through the delivery of the ?Women in Engineering Programme? and the funding of scholarships.
Under Equality and Diversity legislation we believe we can take Positive Action to offer scholarships to female students and design specific interventions that will support females on post graduate taught engineering degrees. These programmes will also support females to consider continuing their studies at a post graduate research level.
